Okay, I get that. We all want to win this game as fans. Bragging rights, ahh ha! But don’t you see? He’s creating actual hate. Not respect. This is why wearing a Michigan shirt in Columbus is scary. You get a goofy ass looney fan that just had 5 shots of mad dog 20/20, and he’s ready to run through a brick wall for Urban! “Yeah fuck blue! Buncha pricks! Yeah! Go Urban! You are like Jesus!”

I’d say I more hate than respect Ohio. It’s hard to respect them to be quite honest, for a variety of reasons which I’ll list;

1) lotta adults with braces, and need thereof 

2) They poop where your beer goes, which is off putting and occasionally dangerous for us respectable folk 

3) The state is quite literally Michigan’s doormat, I don’t respect my doormat. 

4) It’s Ohio

i could go on.

but I’ll say that people who wear OSU shit are safe around me, I just secretly judge and think less of them.

I don't hang out in bars or act like an asshole, but I have worn Michigan shirts in Columbus on several occasions and never had anything other than some harmless banter. 

That's not to say there aren't a bunch of asshole OSU fans that I can't stand but I've never had an issue or been scared to wear UM attire in Columbus, but I recognize that may be different in a bar on game day or something.

What is even more sickening, is that this piece of trash is an analyst for this game! Wow! Such a classy little son of a bitch! I’ve been calm and collected throughout this whole season, until I read this guy’s speech. All while the osu faithful just eat it up. Yeah Urban! Whoo whoo whoo! Beat blue rah rah!

fuck Ohio. Always and forever.

End rant.

Exactly! Karan was baited into that bogus guarantee anyhow. He was a kid. For Meyer to call him an asshole is such an Ohio thing to do! 
As a Michigan fan, when we lose to them, I move on. Whatever. These guys are on a whole other level. They literally hate us. It’s sad.
“Hey guys, let’s wrap our newborns in beat Xichigan blankets. How cute? Awww.” 

seriously, fuck these guys. It’s a football game for fucks sake. Urban is trash. Plain and simple.

Karan was like 22 years old. I’m pretty sure he was a father at the time as well. Urban is an ass, but acting like he was attacking a “kid” is nonsense. Karan should have never said it, and it turned out to be the 2nd dumbest shit he did in a 45 day period. The first being when he sat out the bowl game to prepare for a draft he didn’t get picked in.

FYI, Karan was a father before he ever committed to UofM.... for some reason MichiganMan14 always omitted that when singing Karan's virtues, not that I find the fact that he was a teen father an issue, since both of my brothers walked that same path; but that MichiganMan14 would omit it entirely while giving us all the insights into Karan has always struck me as odd and intentional.

You are absolutely correct, it is none of my business. I was aware of this well before MichiganMan14 ever wrote up his Karan Higdon commitment story post. I am from his home town and have taught many of Karan's friends and cousins. I have always found it odd that he went out of his way to omit anything about Karan's daughter, such as the following 

" Karan committed to USF initially in an effort to stay home as he is the central figure in his family and viewed as a sort of pillar.  Staying close to home allowed him to be close with his mother and younger brothers amongst other things.  It became apparent quickly that he was going to simply be bigger than USF."   https://mgoblog.com/diaries/karan-higdon-commitment-story 

As I said in my post, both of my brothers walked this same path, both dropped out to get jobs and care for their kids. There is a lot of positive that you can discuss from Karan's story and I find it odd that while MM14 freely discussed many aspects of Karan's private life he chose to omit the biggest.

Cliff notes version: "We really respect that bunch of assholes that we beat every year (because we're better than them). Really the only feeling I have towards that contemptible lot of pricks is respect."

Urban Meyer is such trash. So is that fanbase that still celebrates him in Columbus and that school that still employs him. Doing all that while crying about Saban and Dabo. Take a look in the mirror.

Come on, guys. If UM were dominating OSU and Jim gave those speeches, we’d love them. Stop with the “classy” comments. When people bring up class, it usually means your team loses.

Nah, as a father to a young athlete, I wouldn’t want his coaches saying this kind of stuff. I have a problem with calling other student athletes “assholes.” So, no, I wouldn’t be cool with Jim saying this stuff. But hey, that’s just my opinion. No hatred towards you brother.

I mean this whole week has been thread after thread that basically amounts to 'Fuck that [Ohio State] guy' filled with absolute contempt for people who just happen to root for or play for another team.

We've got just as many trashy fans as any other team and this week has proven it.

Disagree - if "random fan" says "player X over on the other team is an asshole" - that's just fanspeak.

But coaches and ex-coaches should realize that all the athletes, whether on your team or not, are out there giving their all and competing.  That is worthy of respect in all cases - whether the opponent is a bitter rival or an irrelevant FCS cupcake.

I kind of agree. I mean he called Karan an asshole. He’s not telling his 7 year old he’s an asshole, he’s telling a bunch of fired up collegiate athletes this. Kind of different I’d say. If Jim was dominating Ohio and called Dobbins an asshole in a ‘fire up chips’ moment, I’d prob agree with him, and be on the fuck dobbins train with him. 

Urban is a classless, wheezily swine yes. I wish umich would have induced a pizza eating moment, but we didn’t. But hey, fuck him nonetheless. As someone else pointed out there is a lot greater evidence to what a low life he is.

When I see these kinds of threads I wonder where the OP has been the last 10+ years.  There are countless examples of Urban being a deplorable human being so I don’t understand the sudden anger when someone reads something like this, which is minor compared to everything else the man has done and said.  It’s not 2006 it’s 2019.
